THE ARTS and culture sector in Leeds is set for a significant post-COVID recovery boost thanks to successful bids for important grant funding.
Leeds City Council is one of a number of organisations in the city which have been awarded a share of Arts Council England’s Cultural Recovery Fund, giving the authority’s venues crucial extra support to welcome back visitors after the pandemic.
The council has been given a grant of £302,750, which will be spent on relaunching the city’s Arts Events and Venues programme and its nine museums and galleries sites and offering their millions of annual visitors a range of new cultural experiences both online and in person.
